I hardly need point out that everything about this map is heart-stoppingly wonderful, from the inset elevation map in the lower left to the almost self-parodic nationalism of the emblem in the upper left, to the big red arrows indicating ocean-borne exports, to the inset hemisphere, in case you wondered where Brazil was relative to other places.
I hardly need point out that not every college junior decorates their rooms like this.

Thanks, Niece#1 (if I may address you so familiarly)!
I am not the map-lover your uncle is, but I would say that something I like about the map is how the coastal areas appear shaded grey by relatively high amount of writing on them.
I liked your blog !! I have too a collectile french school vintage map http://nicevintagefrance.blogspot.com/
Mssr. Leschoolteacher is selling stuff, but his images are nice and might be of interest to L&T browsers. Let's get that link linked up before Aviatrix gets here: http://nicevintagefrance.blogspot.com/.
I was glad to see the map that inspired you so much.
Yes. When I was in college, everyone's dorm rooms had posters of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. But maps are cool too . . .
